Hi there, First things first, it was 926 words originally. Now a little longer and in the 1000+ range you claim. </obsessive compulsive correcting> It was more to do with how long it has previously been between betas, release candidates and finals. Sorry if that point was not as obvious as I originally thought it was. It is such a tiny data set to be able to accurately predict when the next version is coming out, but here's my analysis: * For Rails 1.2 there was 17 days between release candidate and actual release. There were/are no betas. * There were 2 months between the preview release announcement for Rails 2 and the first release candidate, then another month before the release of Rails 2. Therefore, if the past is anything to go by, there will be a couple of months between the beta and the actual release but the large part (cliche: 99%) of the work is complete. I don't want to suggest anything too solid, a release candidate could be released tomorrow for all we know, but given the number of regressions covered in the blog post I would give it another two to four weeks before they release the RC. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.
